With my unfortunate lack of money I've been watching a lot of anime on demand (thank you Funimation on demand). Currently the two I've been watching a lot of are...

-Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple-School Rumble

Kenichi has been a blast so far and I've enjoyed it more than I thought I would, albeit I did miss a few of the earlier episodes. It's one that I actually plan to pick up on DVD, so that's got to mean something good, eh?

As for School Rumble... While it's pretty funny and I have been enjoying it, I don't think it's anything I'd ever watch again. For me this series feels like a "one-time watch", and after that I probably wouldn't ever touch it again. I've been enjoying it, but I just can't see myself watching it over again in the future.

I finished up Bamboo Blade a few weeks ago. This was another series I fell in love with. I gotta pick it up on DVD...

I bought Kenichi too! I love that rockin' OP music too! One of the best bildungsroman type anime I have yet seen. Excuse my German.

Sora no Manimani. It's even better if you love astronomy. It's good. It's fun. I like it.

I like most of the new season's shows. But there are exceptions. P&S w/G is one of those exceptions. I quit it after less than 5 minutes. I just didn't think it special enough. MM! is one I will continue with so far, but I don't know how much of this I can actively stand.

Star Driver has mecha that look too fru-fru to me. Mecha designed by Fiorucci! Other than that it doesn't seem so bad.

Soredemo something something might be all right. I got a lousy version, so they missed a lot by not having English as their native language. I think gg is doing it now. I re-dll'ed their version. I wonder if the dialog is Kansai Ben dialect, which may explain why so few groups wish to touch this anime. She reminds me of Osaka from Azumanga Daioh in a way.

I think Netflix sent The Third: The Girl With the Blue Eye. I'll let you know.

I'm only just recently getting a chance to watch the Higurashi anime, and i have to say, I'm impressed. Any show that can open with a gruesome set of baseball bat deaths, then proceed to spend the rest of the episode on school girls playing card games and keep my interest definitely deserved my interest long before now.

I'm finally finishing off Dance in the Vampire Bund. Maybe it isn't exactly your cup of tea, but I like it. Better than The Third, the Girl With the Blue Eye. Not that that's a horrible anime. But...I keep thinking of Desert Punk and Trigun, but without it being either. No Vash, no Sunobozu. No boing.

Actually, I am liking very much most of the new seasons shows. At least I haven't decided to not waste my time on any of them at this point.

Edit;Okay, the Third, the Girl With the Blue Eye is kind of growing on me. But I just don't have time to do a marathon and finish it off, yet.

There's this new old one coming out now, Strange Dawn. It's from 2000, I think. Anyway, it seems a bit older, by the art style. But it's odd, but maybe interesting. You have two high school girls who get transported to a parallel dimension to become the Great Saviors of the local village upon arrival. Too bad they don't know this. I don't think much will make me rave about this, I mean I hadn't heard of it until now, ya know? But it isn't bad enough to just toss away.

Got done watching Ergo Proxy a couple days ago and I have to say, it's on of my favorites now. The character development is great, and the story is amazing, although for some reason, some people don't know what's going on... =/ I don't see how you can't follow the story though... I also watched Murder Princess. It was a pretty good OVA, I enjoyed it. I found many parts very funny

I am finishing up Hime-chan no Ribbon and I have started watching Special A. I don't know how I missed Special A the first time around. I am really enjoying it now. I am also watching, or have watched, all the shows Rem just mentioned.

You're not watching Sora no Yosuga? And that's Zakuro, not Zakumo. lol. Not Sora no Otoshimino Forte? HA! No Iron Man? Ummmm, What about To Aru Majustu no Index II? Don't tell me you forgot about Index and the Railgun?

I watched all of it on youtube originally. At some point I managed to find what seemed to be the official website & could watch them there too...but for the life of me I can't find it now lol. I'm sure it would be easy to find a torrent for as well if you wanted to go that route.

Right now, I've been watching Maison Ikkoku. My club's advisor recently recommended a show called Mitsudomoe; it sounds very interesting, especially since I think my triplets (if I were to have female triplets) would be like these girls...

I have a new blog! It is an anime-themed discussion site. Please check it out, and share your two cents!

Of late i've watched gakuen heaven (a little yaoi, but hilarious!), R.O.D. (read or die), and ghost in the shell SAC 1 & 2. I just ordered ghost in the shell the original movie, cause i've never seen it (can u believe it?).

R.O.D OVA or R.O.D. TV? Also there is Ghost in the Shell ~ Innocence, the second movie.

Started watching Kemonozume for something to watch when I don't have an episode of Arakawa, Kuragehime, or PSG.

So far so good. One episode in. The style of animation is super awesome (Like that one crazy episode of PSG where the style changed, my favorite one btw. I've known about Kemonozume for awhile, just seeing that was a kicker to finally start it.) And the story is pretty interesting. I can't wait to see how it pans out.

It's REALLY nice to see some interesting animation actually. Even though I like the stories for a lot of the newer shows, I'm getting really tired of Kawaii ugguuuu giant eyes.

I finished Special A. If you liked Host Club give it a try. I am really enjoying Kuragehime aka Princess Jellyfish. I highly recommend it to everyone. I am also intrigued by Bakuman. Not a bad tutorial for anyone who wants to be a mangaka. My wife was agreeing with quite a bit of what they talked about, or arguing about it. "You need to spend hours just drawing lines and curves to get used to a pen, you don't draw figures. They don't use G pens in the US." etc, etc. At least she is watching something.

Wait, it took until episode 6 before your club started worrying about too much fanservice in Highschool of The Dead, aka HOTD? Really. facepalm. lol It was good, it was hot. I liked it a lot.

I like watching Otome Youkai Zakuro. It set 150 or so years ago. So it's a bit different in the historical type of anime, set later than Tokugawa shogunate period.

Psychic Detective Yakumo just finished off a cool story arc. The writing there was, well it twisted of the plot with the red strong of fate. Way cool, and a bit hard to follow, which made it more engrossing to me.

And for some reason I'm also keeping up with Super Robot Taisen. I don't know why. It's like if it has mecha, it must have continuity problems! Hello?

Soredemo had a really funny and good episode this week. Not going to spoil it for you. But I do have a growing curiosity regarding vending machines in laundromats in Japan. No, they weren't selling panties. Naughty person you, for thinking that.
